Has anyone mentioned Ariana Grande and Justin Beiber? How is it a bad line up if it sells out? All down to personal tastes ain't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're sitting wanting bands like The Who etc you're gonna be disappointed you should know by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone mentioned Ariana Grande and Justin Beiber? Aye sort of! A dont really think trsnmt will be that exciting tbh. Most festival line ups seem a bit dull this year tbh in my opinion so its prob slim pickings. I would like if they had a day that was a bit more “rocky” and have bands like BMTH play, it would attract a diff audience, myself included. I would go see courteeners headlining and BMTH on each day because a like more than one genre of music which some folk canny understand lol . They had download one year in the green so i dont see why they dont cater to that side of music whoch i think would deffo sell but i suppose its all about the ££££ and who sells the most tickets which will be your Eszra and the like .

DomDom1984 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 TRNSMT will change as the festival demographic does. You'll be left behind because you're not in that demographic, and you appear to be extremely bitter about this. Just go somewhere else. It's not like people are short of options. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavorting19 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 TRNSMT has only been about 3 years.. so the demographic wont have changed that much surley? I get what you are saying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not buying that we’ve been told repeatedly what crowd trnsmt caters for. Everytime I’ve mentioned someone like the chemical brothers or the prodigy you get the same response about not fitting in with the trnsmt crowd.

Cavorting19 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Tbh the crowd at trnsmt on the saturday last year was a fucking absolute ned fest.. folk were there who dont even like gigs they just went with the masses, and because Gerry was playing.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Dunno how anyone can seriously say that the supposed headliners this year are a shift away from the usual demographic of the festival. All three literally played on the same day at TRNSMT in 2017. Edited February 13, 2019 by SomeoneListeningIn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they've been ruled out. They'd definitely fit with who TRNSMT are trying to attract, but TRNSMT won't use them. Plus, the Chems are nowhere near big enough to headline a major festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the prodigy got announced as a headliner I would be sold! Seen then loads, they have done download and there own festivals so totally agree they could but would it appease the “demographic” ha ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithless don't exist; Prodigy couldn't. I don't reckon Prodigy could sell 35,000 tickets in the much bigger and more accessible market of London.
